| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Brexit referendum was won in the regions: in the areas where local reporting of local issues has been withering away for decades. Much of the country outside London has no local press. Three quarters of newspaper offices in regional towns have closed since 1999; locally employed journalists (living in the communities they report on) have all but disappeared; courts, hospitals, councils go unreported.1 What purports to be ‘local’ news is all too often just cross-syndicated content produced from the Midlands production hubs of monopolistic newspaper chains. |
